Man Says Many Gang Members Were Coming After His Family

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBS 2) — He was arrested for protecting his property and family.
But it’s how the Long Island man did it that police say crossed the line.
He got an AK-47 assault rifle, pulled the trigger and he ended up in jail, reports CBS 2’s Pablo Guzman.
George Grier said he had to use his rifle on Sunday night to stop what he thought was going to be an invasion of his Uniondale home by a gang he thought might have been the vicious “MS-13.” He said the whole deal happened as he was about to drive his cousin home.

This situation sounds like a nightmare. A gang on your lawn shouting death threats at you & your family. One wonders why he attracted their attention in the first place.

A better approach may have been to call police, turn the lights out, and cover the group from inside the house with the doors locked until the PD arrived.
